Title: Reduced pin count (RPC) memory bus interface including a read data strobe signal
Inventor: ZITLAW CLIFFORD ALAN
IPC: G06F13/20
Filed: 2013-03-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus for a memory bus interface including a read data strobe. The interface includes a chip select 215, CS# for delivering a chip select signal (CS# figure 3B) that indicates when a peripheral device (135, figure 1) is activated, wherein the bus interface 210 provides communication between a host device (106 figure 1) and the peripheral device (135 figure 1). The interface also includes a differential clock pair 223 (CK) , 225, (CK#), for delivering a differential clock signal (CK,CK# figure 3B). A read data strobe 230, RDS is included in the interface for delivering a read data strobe signal from the peripheral device (RDS figure 3B). The interface includes a data bus 235, DQ[7-0], for delivering command, address, and data information. The read data strobe indicates when valid data is present on the data bus. The pair of differential clocks and the read data strobe enable transfer of data in a Double Data Rate (DDR) manner. The functionality of the clock pair and also the read data strobe may be single ended or differential. The pin count is therefore reduced having an twelve (12) line interface which comprises an eight (8) line wide data bus.

Title: Nicotine replacement device with controlled delivery
Inventor: LAWRENCE SIMON RICHARD HAMILTON
IPC: A24F40/65
Filed: 2014-04-03
Abstract: An electronic cigarette device that has a timer, the timer determines the amount of time that the device can deliver the ingredient that is being dispensed by the electronic cigarette. The timer prevents the user being able to use the device continually and thus assist in reducing their dependency on nicotine or other chemical(s) that are being dispensed by the electronic cigarette. The timer may have preset programmes, or timer settings may be changed by the user or third party that can be altered by an alternative device e.g. wirelessly; thereby altering the amount of time the device is active or the amount of ingredient that is received by the user. A set times the timer may also trigger the device to release a reduced concentration of devices ingredients.

Title: Improvements in and relating to displays
Inventor: ROSS RENWICK HOBSON
IPC: H04N9/31
Filed: 2015-12-23
Abstract: Apparatus and method for implementing a field-sequential colour display FSC (e.g Helmet Mounted Display HMD or Head up display (HUD) for an aircraft pilot). The method comprises displaying a colour image comprising a combination of three component images displayed in sequence (figure 3A) each representing a respective one of three different component colours of the image, 6 Amber,7 Green ,8 Cyan. The method is used effectively to mitigate the effects of colour breakup associated with viewer eye motion, and to increase luminance and provide display symbols of near equal luminance. A common display frame period will display sequentially a first component image 6 displayed using the first component colour, which may comprise of equal portions of red and green components to form an Amber (Yellow) colour. The second component image is displayed separately using the second component colour (e.g Green) without either first (Red) or third (Blue) component colour being present. This displays the second component image as a second colour (e.g Green). Separately, the third component image is displayed using the third component colour (e.g Blue) simultaneously with the second colour (e.g Green) in absence of the first component colour (e.g Red) resulting in colour image (Cyan). The luminance level of the first, second and third image components are preferably equal. Thus an image may be constructed using a plurality of separate images each composed of a resultant colour, another resultant colour and second component colour. The colour components are preferably red, green and blue according to the CIE chromaticity standard. The resultant colours may be Amber (R+G) and Cyan (G+B). The luminance of the component colours may vary or may be such that they are in the proportion, so as to relate to white level colour balance. An embodiment is disclosed of a Helmet Mounted Projector Display (figure 5) in which illumination is provided by an LED mixing cube comprising red, green, blue LEDs. The illumination light source illuminates an image defining (reflective) LCD which defines the image according to the image components (Amber, Green, Cyan) respectively. A reflecting prism projects the LCD reflected image onto the eye of the viewer.

The identifier may include an address associated with a source of the web page or a data string that is formed by encrypting a Universal Resource Locator or address associated with the resource. Links may be embedded within e.g. an online newspaper web page that trigger the client to request advertising content from third party provider 104. May use addresses that are not identifiable to an ad blocker or client-side filter to circumvent software which recognises URLs and HTML elements that are associated with adverts or browsing trackers embedded within web pages.
